Asset Based Lending recently funded a loan for a single-family new construction project with a first time borrower and real estate investor in Chicago, Illinois.

The project will feature a welcoming first floor with a walk-through porch leading into an open concept living, dining, and kitchen area, which extends to a family room at the back. A powder room will be located on the left, and the kitchen will include an island seating six. The second floor will house a primary bedroom at the front with his-and-her walk-in closets, a master bath with a soaking tub, steam shower, and dual vanities. This floor will also have two secondary bedrooms sharing a bathroom, a laundry closet, and a bedroom with a private bathroom and walk-in closet. The rooftop will have a deck, and the basement will include a recreation room, a bedroom/office, a powder room, a laundry area, and a bedroom with a private bathroom and walk-in closet. The borrower anticipates 8 months for construction and two months to sell.
